Tired of trying to get people to play more than three cords or trade solos? This small booklet and CD work great to expand your imagination and explore more complex changes than some modern blues. The booklet has some real Jazz chords and scale ideas - such as E-flat mixolydian over E-flat 9ths. The changes are like most mainstream Jazz with a modern flavor.

One caveat -- you need to be somewhat experienced as a guitar player to get something out of this CD and book. Things go by too quickly for someone just starting out.

While practicing with the CD won't make you into Howard Roberts or even entertain friends much, it is a great way to stretch one's imagination beyond the old 3 chord blues. Has tablature if you can't read music, sounds good through a portable CD player and headphones - so nobody will ever need to know your secret admiration for Jazz guitar style. No help playing those solos either - you're in charge of picking which notes to play and how to play them. If you sit in with Jazz combos on the weekend, you're probably beyond Jazz JamTrax ( after all, you read the charts and play it in your head before you even touch your guitar, right? ). For the rest of us, for whom no band would have enough patience while we learn, this is a dream come true. My girlfriend liked the CD when I played it in the car (without my guitar work!) - it's more interesting than a plain guitar class. I still enjoy the CD after many plays. 5 stars for price and value overall, -1 star for a couple of corny tracks that would even embarrass the producers of old CHiPs television show. Fun overall and worth the money.

John Deere Buggies and Wagons tells of the history of the Reliance Buggy and of the partnership of the Deere and Webber Co.'s. The drawings of buggies and the color and striping details has helped us with our carriage restoration projects. It's a good one to add to your library.

this was an interesting book i am doing a review on mr.irving my father worked for him (doug hill c.e.o.) and i was looking for more infomation on him

well,up to this time i've always fell not clear about kant.even in the books trying to explain kant.but this book accomplished this problem.i really approve it

I love the Kovels, they write exhaustively, and are incredibly knowledgeable. However I do find the layout of this book to be somewhat confusing. It's chock-full of good info, but needs better organization. Breaking things into topics and then alpahbetizing would work well, and make the book that much more useful. But for the seasoned collector their books are hard to do without.

What can you say about a hornbook? I'm trying to review the ones I use for class as fast as I finish using them, but except for famous ones like Prosser and Keeton, there's not much to do other than point out whether I found them helpful and reliable.

This one was both. As an evening law student with delusions of eternal youth, I just completed two semesters of property law during summer session, and I surely found Hovenkamp's discussions useful. (In general I prefer hornbooks to casebooks anyway.) The text includes lots of sample problems as well; you may especially appreciate this feature when you discuss estates, future interests, and the Rule Against Perpetuities.

I didn't notice anything that clearly set it apart from other property-law hornbooks, but we don't, after all, buy these things for the bells and whistles. It's a solid book that covers a standard subject in pretty much the standard order. Recommended to law students.

An above average text book which did more than serve its purpose. It also provided a good reference for a research paper and talked in detail about a number of legal cases.

It's a fascinating play, but it's important to take into consideration that it takes up to 4 hours to produce in its entirety, requires a cast of up to 40 people plus orchestra and tech crew. The carnival scene (10) also requires many props, and setting it during the renaissance can be demanding for a costumier! We performed it outside in winter at night. Brrrr...

Within reading the first few pages of this well researched and illuminating biography of one of America's finest playwrights, it becomes obvious that author Ralph Voss is first and formost a major fan of William Inge, the bard of Kansas. That is always a prerequisite for embarking on a biographical journey. However, Voss' fandom does get in his way frequently as he unsuccessfully confuses is goal: is he a fan or a critic. This is really a small matter as the book does provide a fascinating insight into William Inge, a man whose private nature makes him a shadowy enigma at best.

Even almost thirty years after his death, Voss (writing in 1988), finds it very difficult to focus on Inge's personal life. The book doesn't provide as effective an insight into the writing process or into the man's inter workings as say Leverich's recent biography of Tennessee Williams has. This is due in no small part to the simple but important fact most of Inge's surviving friends and family didn't really know him.

This leaves Voss with little choice but to focus on the work.

Voss makes it apparent that reading a biography of Inge is ultimately anti climatic as the thin layer of fiction in his work barely covers its ultimately autobiographical quality. Anyone who has read, watched or produced Inge's work will immediately recognize the forms, characters and language and situations relfected in his life. Voss proves most successful in drawing, enhancing and exploring those connections. This holds especially as the older,increasingly cynical and bitter Inge attempts to answer his critics (especially Robert Brustein!) and create plays reflective of the volatile 1960's and early 1970's. His latter plays failed perhaps because Inge tried to write outside of his strengths. Watching his bittersweet portraits of midwestern life crumble to dark and violent scenes of depravity really does fill the reader with a sense of sadness and loss. William Inge, like many great artists, decomposed in front of an audience.

Voss does admit that perhaps while Inge was not a great playwright in the sense he did not revolutionize the form as Brecht, Beckett, Odets, Williams, Miller and Wilder did, he did possess an uncanny ability to capture realistic dialouge.

Inge's sepia toned portraits of midwestern manners and life have been overshadowed by the canon of Williams, Miller and O'Neil to be sure. Voss makes the successful case that Inge stands as a proud equal to the more illuminary authors of America's rich dramatic tradition.

A fine read well worth the time and effort about a fine literary artist desperately in need of rediscovering. Even if it doesn't know whether it is a biography or critical evaluation.

Even though the latest edition was published in 1975, Light's manual is still a "must have" for the west coast naturalist. This book contains taxonomic keys and information about the majority of intertidal invertebrate animals that live along the California Coast.

The keys have supplementary illustrations that help the reader figure out what animal is in their bucket, or in the tide pool at their feet.

There are entries that are unavoidably out of date due to the publication date. The reliability and usefulness of the taxonomic keys and supporting information in this book, however, still ring true.

A wonderful reference book to the invertebrates of California.

The only reason I didn't give the book 5 stars was that its publication year (1975) is causing its contents to slip out of date.

Anyone up for putting together a new edition?
